Can't wait till Monday: States most likely to REJECT austerity to lower unemployment are Republican.

After crunching the state employment figures from the "Bureau of Labor Statistics" all last week, I found something shocking... well... not really considering. Republican governors are monster freakin' hypocrites when it comes to Austerity.

It started with the hypothesis that Republican/Red states were dragging down the monthly National jobs figures to keep the unemployment rate artificially high just to hurt President Obama's reelection chances. So I checked the numbers. What I found surprised even me.

In fact, Red States are THREE TIMES as likely as Blue States to increase the number of state jobs in order to improve their own unemployment figures. Then they go around demanding "Austerity" from everyone else. And Democrats fall for it.

If it's not a scandal, it should be. I normally wait until Monday to release my Op/Ed's, but I got tired of sitting on this one. Spread the link. (Please K&R)
